From your explanation I understood my scenario is by default using
per-destination load balancing. So, how does router determines source
interface for the packet here ( with per-destination ) .. does it pick
randomly any one of two interfaces or is there there any specific
criteria. ( Is there anything ARP cache plays role here with respect
to picking up of source interface of packet)
